Zambia: Manganese Industry Has Potential to Drive Country’s Economic Fortunes

admin
A well organised manganese mining sub-sector has the capacity to turnaround the country’s economic fortunes. Although the country’s manganese mineralisation data which points to what extent mineral rich Luapula Province for example is endowed with the energy mineral, recent mining activities in the area shows that there is abundance. But the disorganised nature of the mining subsector leaves much to be desired as not only the Government is losing potential revenue but also the safety proposition which is endangering lives. The level at which the mineral is being discovered in… Read More Here

UNDERSTANDING VERTICAL SHAFT MOUNTING FOR BEARINGS 9 You got to know this Equipment & Technology 

UNDERSTANDING VERTICAL SHAFT MOUNTING FOR BEARINGS

admin
When mounting bearings, one of the most common procedures is to use a vertical shaft mounting position and work with heat. Considering all common mounting methods, as many as one in six bearings may fail because of inadvertent damage sustained during mounting. Commonly used as is, the vertical shaft procedure presents some lesser-known risks. This article discusses potential problems and how to overcome them. Hot mounting of bearings and other components such as couplings and gears has proven to be very practical. The heating, mounting and shrinking of components is… Read More Here
